Rank and File Union Members of The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Get Screwed By Union Leaders Supporting Neocon Hillary Clinton - Iran to buy 114 Airbuses to revamp aging fleet

BACKGROUND:The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) announced Friday that it would endorse Hillary Clinton as its preferred Democratic presidential candidate. The machinists are now the third AFL-CIO union to endorse a candidate, following National Nurses United’s endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders four days ago and the American Federation of Teachers’ Clinton endorsement on July 11.WHY WOULD THE IRANIANS CHOOSE US AIRCRAFT WITH HILLARY CLINTON BEING SUPPORTED BY THE IAM?

According to Fars, the aircraft are aged above 15 but the official said it was a non-issue.“The main issue about an aircraft is being able to procure parts. It doesn’t matter much how old a plane is. What is essential is to have the manufacturing company ensure parts supply,” the official said.

The purchase of new Boeing aircraft is still problematic.

While a purchase of 114 Airbus planes was already announced last week, Boeing did not show up at the Iran Aviation Summit in Tehran where a wide gathering of government, airline and airport officials were present. Akhoundi said Boeing is “unfortunately not here,” while carriers such as Iran Air expressed interest in the U.S. company’s planes. Iran’s interest in the A380 was first reported by Reuters.http://www.gconew.com/world/89043/iran-may-buy-a380-as-airbus-overtakes-boeing-absent-from-meeting.html

Mr. Kashan said Iran also may buy 40 turboprop short-haul planes from ATR, the joint venture between Airbus and Italy’s Finmeccanica SpA. Deliveries would unfold this year and next, he said.

He said it was unclear how soon a deal with Boeing could be completed. The plane maker still was trying to sort out how to deal with Iran and comply with U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control rules, he said.

Magnificent Ronald and the Founding Fathers of al Qaeda

“These gentlemen are the moral equivalents of America’s founding fathers.” — Ronald Reagan while introducing the Mujahideen leaders to media on the White house lawns (1985). During Reagan’s 8 years in power, the CIA secretly sent billions of dollars of military aid to the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in a US-supported jihad against the Soviet Union. We repeated the insanity with ISIS against Syria.
